ABSTRACT

Aims.Near diffraction-limited images have been taken at 8.9, 11.9, and 12.9 µm for the brightest extragalactic sources in the southern sky, in order to optimally plan N-band observations with MIDI (MID-infrared Interferometric instrument) at the VLTI.

Methods.We have assembled a sample of 21 objects consisting of all the AGNs observable from Paranal observatory, Chile, plus three non-AGN objects, with an estimated N-band flux greater than 400 mJy. We used the TIMMI2 Mid Infrared instrument mounted on the ESO’s 3.6 m telescope to obtain near diffraction-limited images in order to establish the unresolved core flux within <0.5 arscsec.

Results.Positions and core total fluxes were obtained for all sources in our sample and compared with similar investigations in the literature. We find that 15 AGN and the nuclear starburst in NGC 253 exhibit an unresolved core flux<300 mJy at 11.9 µm, making them promising targets for MIDI at the VLTI. For extended sources, near diffraction-limited images are presented and discussed.

1. Introduction

Since the operation of MIDI at the VLTI began in 2004, astron- omy has entered a new era where it is now possible to reach a resolution of a few milliarcseconds at infrared wavelengths, about 15 times the resolution of the largest single-dish tele- scopes. MIDI operates in the N-band (8−13 µm) and therefore it is ideal for observing heated dust expected in AGNs and star- burst galaxies. Although it is most commonly used in observ- ing galactic objects like circumstellar disks (Leinert et al. 2004) and dust shells around evolved stars (Ohnaka et al. 2005), MIDI has been successfully used to observe extragalactic objects. The main limitation of MIDI in this context is its limiting flux of

∼400 mJy, so only bright objects can be observed currently. So far, MIDI has been used to observe dusty tori in AGNs, objects which are central to the AGN unification model, and which have proven too small to be resolved by a single dish telescope. With its superior resolution, the presence of a torus-like structure has been established in the galaxy NGC 1068 (Jaffe et al. 2004) by using only two baseline observations, and additional MIDI ob- servations with extensive coverage of up to 21 baselines have measured the geometrical properties of the torus in the Circinus galaxy (Tristram et al. 2007) and NGC 1068 (Raban et al., sub- mitted). A resolved dust structure was also detected in the core of Centaurus A (Meisenheimer et al. 2007). Apart from active galactic nuclei, the only extragalactic objects bright enough for

MIDI are starburst galaxies. For such objects, MIDI can be used to measure the size and geometry of the nuclear star-forming region.

Here, we have assembled a list of the brightest extragalactic objects at 10µm, and observed them at 8.9, 11.9 and 12.9 µm with the TIMMI2 instrument, mounted on the 3.6 m telescope in La Silla, Chile. Our goal here is to give the basic information needed in order to plan VLTI observation of cores of galaxies.

Positions and core fluxes were determined for all sources, and for those sources which were resolved, we present and discuss images at 8.9, 11.9 and 12.9µm.

The layout of the paper is as follows: in Sect.2we describe how the observed sources were selected; the observations and data reduction are discussed in Sects.3and4; images are pre- sented in Sect.5 along with a brief description of each object and additional reference information

2. Sample selection

The target list consists of all AGN’s observable from Cerro Paranal (δ < 22) and have an estimated total N-band flux den- sity brighter than N= 5 or SN= 400 mJy, which is the limiting magnitude for observations with MIDI, estimated from previ- ous N-band measurements available in the literature. This list of 21 objects (without NGC 1068) was taken from the catalogue of Seyfert galaxies byLipovetsky et al.(1988) to which we added additional sources from the compilations ofGranato et al.(1997) andMaiolino et al.(1995), plus the IR luminous galaxy M 83, the starburst galaxy NGC 253 and the famous quasar 3C 273.

3. Observations

The mid-infrared observations were carried out with the TIMMI2 instrument on the ESO 3.6 m telescope on La Silla, Chile, on the nights of 6 and 7 of August 2001 and 8 to 10 February 2002. TIMMI2 is a mid-infrared imager and spec- trograph operating in the M (5µm), N (10 µm) and Q (20 µm) atmospheric bandpasses. The camera is equipped with a 320× 240 pixel Si:As array and can operate at a scale of 0.2 or 0.3 arcsec/pixel. We used the 0.2 arcsec/pixel scale resulting in a total field-of-view of 64 × 48. For a complete description of the instrument refer toReimann et al.(2000) andKäufl et al.

(2003).

For most of the observations we selected the 1.2µm wide 11.9µm filter since it offered the best signal to noise ratio for a given integration time. A ratio of flux over noise (per pixel) of about a 200 is achieved by 40 min of integration time for a 400 mJy source. Sources that were significantly brighter were observed for shorter periods of time. Some targets were sup- plemented with additional images with the the 8.6 µm filter (∆λ = 1.2 µm) and the 12.9 µm filter (∆λ = 0.9 µm). The com- plete observation log can be found in Table1.

Seeing conditions as monitored in the optical were highly variable, ranging between 1 and 1.8 arcsec on August 6 to 0.36 and 0.8 arcsec on August 7, 2001, while the humidity at ground level remained around 5%. During the February 2002 run the seeing was constant at 1 arcsec with a very high humidity at ground level of 80−95%. In order to remove the strongly variable background radiation of the telescope and atmosphere in the mid infrared we used the standard chopping and nodding method. In this mode the secondary mirror chops with a frequency of typ- ically several Hz North–South and the telescope is nodded ap- proximately every 5 min East–West. As all sources turned out to be compact at 10µm, the small field chop and nod mode was

used, keeping the objects always in the frame, while still avoid- ing overlapping of the images which might lead to loss of flux.

This effectively cuts the field-of-view of the chip in 4 pieces and is therefore only possible for compact targets, such as extended star forming regions. The relatively small throw we used can substract these from the image, leading to an underestimation of the flux. During chopping the detector is continuously read- out with a frequency of about 40 Hz and each 100 image pairs are subtracted, stacked and saved to disk. The result is a series of chopped frames with both a positive and a negative image of the source, with an exposure time of approximately 25 s per frame. Subtracting 2 frames from different nod positions results in 2 positive and 2 negative acquisitions of the object. We used a of 20 arcsec North–South and a nod of 30 arcsec East–West (ex- cept for the observations of M 83 where these values were 25 and 30 arcsec respectively), allowing for both the chopped as well as the nodded positions to fall onto the detector, while at the same time preventing any overlap of the positive and negative images.

Due to technical problems with the autoguider there was a slow position drift during the integrations. This was taken into account during data reduction.

4. Reduction

Standard reduction techniques were used to convert a set of raw frames into a final, photometrically calibrated image of the source. Flat field correction was not applied since for all ground-based mid-IR instruments no possibility of a reliable flat- field correction exists up to now (Starck et al. 1999), and since the chopping and nodding method used to eliminate the ther- mal background results in a relatively flat images. For our data cosmic rays removal is not required since the number of back- ground photons is large, making the cosmic ray’s contribution undetectable. Bad pixels were detected using the statistical

surements. Three different modes for referencing and co-adding were implemented to accommodate different SNR levels. For all these modes the image peak was determined by fitting a Gaussian of appropriate size to the central airy disk:

– For the brightest sources with a flux above 1200 mJy (i.e.

Circinus, NGC 1068, NGC 253, NGC 5128) the peak SNR was high enough so that each of the four images (2 positive, 2 negative) in a single frame could be separately fitted, ref- erenced and co-added in order to get the best registration, thus compensating for possible small errors in the chopping distance.

– For the intermediate sources with a core flux above 650 mJy we assumed the chopping distance to be fixed, first combin- ing the positive and negative images before their center point is determined.

– For weak sources below 650 mJy the image pairs are first co-added with a fixed chopping distance. Images taken just before and after each image are also co-added before being fitted. This procedure first averages a subset of images, cal- culates the peak position and then uses this position for next subset of images, iterating until the corrections are smaller then 0.1 pixel.

Since the transmissivity of the atmosphere is highly variable in the observed wavelengths, absolute calibration is challenging.

The system is photometrically calibrated using bright stars of known flux that have been observed every two hours. Care was taken that the stars are observed at similar altitudes to the sci- ence objects. For the photometry measurement a distinction is made between objects where the nucleus is a mere point source and objects displaying extended emission. For point sources a 1.6aperture flux was taken, covering the central airy disk out to the first minimum. For extended objects the peak value was used since the PSF is well sampled with 0.2 per pixel. Using the peak value minimizes contamination from extended com- ponents. For these sources the growth curve of the source and the PSF are also presented in order to make clear which part of the flux comes from an unresolved source. The peak flux corre- sponds to an aperture of 1.2. An exception is NGC 7582, for which the flux was measured with a 2.6 aperture. In order to improve the visual appearance all images have also been decon- volved, using a simple but robust, CLEAN method, where a PSF taken from a nearby reference star is iteratively subtracted from the peak position and replaced with a Gaussian with a similar width. Flux errors are dominated by the calibration errors from the reference stars measured by estimating the fluctuations of the transmissivity of the sky by comparing the fluxes of the same ob- jects (stars or AGNs) close in time. Accordingly, the photometric error is about 15% for all sources.

5. Results

Core flux measurements and core positions for each source are presented in Table1. FiguresA.1toA.8show high resolution contour images of eight objects out of the 21 objects observed, omitting those sources for which more recent images are avail- able and images of unresolved sources. A brief discussion of each source is presented, along with references for other sim- ilar or complementary data. All sources show an unresolved core with little or no extended emission, with the exception of NGC 253, NGC 7582, NGC 1365, and M 83, which show con- siderable extended emission.

NGC 253. FigureA.1. This nearby starburst galaxy shows com- plex extended emission in all observed wavelengths: 8.6, 11.9 and 12.9µm. All images show two sources, the bright source seems to be resolved. The extended emission shows an elonga- tion of 3 to the north east. An additional peak is seen clearly in the 8.6µm image, and to a lesser extent in the 11.9 µm im- age, and corresponds to “peak 3” thatKalas & Wynn-Williams (1994) identify at 3.28µm and is most likely to be PAH emis- sion. The 12.9 µm image, shows the structure boarded by the two peaks reported by Boeker et al. (1998) as well as other authors, and is very similar to the NeII map of these authors and the NeII maps ofKeto et al. (1999). It is most likely to be dominated by a combination of NeII emission and 12.7µm PAH emission (Boeker et al. 1998;Förster Schreiber et al. 2003).

Since the 11.9 filter is centered on 11.66µm with a FWHM of 1.16 µm it is likely that the 11.9 µm extended emission also includes 11.3 µm PAH emission. Galliano et al.(2005) show 11.9 µm deconvolved images and identify six sources, as op- posed to four in our 11.9µm image Comparing the two images, sources M2 and M3 ofGalliano et al.(2005) coincide with our second brightest peak, and sources M5 and M6 with the two peaks to the North–East. The flux measured byGalliano et al.

(2005) for the main peak (5000± 1000 mJy) is a factor of two higher than the flux measured in this work. This discrepancy can be attributed to the 2aperture used byGalliano et al.(2005) as opposed to out method of measuring the peak value (see Sect.4) Identifying out second peak with M2+M3 our flux (1150 mJy) is 50% higher than the combined flux of M2 and M3.

NGC 1365. FigureA.2. A face-on spiral galaxy with a promi- nent bar. Our 11.9 µm image shows an unresolved nucleus and two point sources to the north east, identified byGalliano et al.

(2005) as M5 and M6. This structure is surrounded by an arm like faint extended emission. In addition, the deconvolved im- age shows slight point like emission from sources M7 and M4 of Galliano et al. (2005). The authors identify their M4, M5 and M6 sources with radio counterparts ofSaikia et al.(1994), and conclude that these sources are embedded young massive star clusters. Flux measurements of the nucleus are in excellent agreement withGalliano et al.(2005), but are higher than those ofSiebenmorgen et al.(2004) who measured a flux of 400 mJy at 8.5µm and 460 mJy at 10.4 µm. This discrepancy can be ex- plained by the multi-source structure of NGC 1365, causing flux measurements very sensitive to telescope positioning. The weak extended emission to the South West of the nucleus also appears as two point sources in the 11.9 and 10.4µm deconvolved maps ofGalliano et al.(2005) and is most likely not an artifact.

IRAS 05189-2524. Observations of this Seyfert 2 galaxy at 11.9 µm show a completely unresolved core with no deviations from the PSF larger then 1σ. An unresolved core is also reported bySiebenmorgen et al.(2004) with 8.6, 10.4 and 11.9µm flux densities of 420, 420 and 570 mJy, respectively, and bySoifer et al.(2000), who present a 12.5µm image and 12.5 24.5 µm fluxes.

NGC 2377. For this object we give an upper limit for the flux of 60 mJy.

MCG 5-23-16. For this S0 galaxy hosting a Seyfert 1.9 nucleus we have an unresolved core with a flux of 646 mJy at 11.9µm.

narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy at 11.9µm shows central source un- resolved. The 11.9µm flux is in agreement withMaiolino et al.

(1995).

NGC 3256. Our image (not presented here) of this IR- luminous merger system shows an unresolved core, In contrast toSiebenmorgen et al.(2004) who present a resolved, yet fea- tureless image, taken with shorter exposure time. The difference may be explained by a change in seeing between the calibrator, from which the PSF is determined, and NGC 3256.

NGC 3281. For this Seyfert 2 galaxy we measure 625 mJy for 11.9µm, which is similar to the N-band flux found atKrabbe et al.(2001) 580± 30 mJy, measured with a 2.2 m telescope, and therefore a diffraction limit 1.6 times that of our observa- tion. A 18× 20 10.5µm image of NGC 3281 dominated by a point source and marginal evidence for an extended emission component is also presented byKrabbe et al.(2001).

NGC 3758. (Mkn 739) For this double-nuclei Seyfert I/star- burst galaxy a low flux of<60 mJy is measured.

NGC 3783. NGC 3783 is a nearly face-on SBa galaxy with a very bright, highly variable, Seyfert 1 nucleus. The image shows an unresolved point source.

3C 273. The image of this well known quasar shows an unre- solved core at 11.9µm. The measured 11.9 µm flux is in agree- ment with the N-band flux ofSitko et al. (1982) but 100 mJy higher than the flux quoted inGorjian et al.(2004).

NGC 4594. “Sombrero Galaxy”. For this object the measured 11.9µm flux, <60 mJy, is in agreement with the results found at Maiolino et al.(1995) andGorjian et al.(2004).

MCG-3-34-6. The low flux measured here,<60 mJy at 11.9 µm is much smaller than the 440 mJy flux measured byMaiolino et al.(1995) at 10.4µm, with a 5.4aperture. The origin of the discrepancy are unclear since this object has not been studied be- fore apart from the single measurement ofMaiolino et al.(1995) mentioned above, and so it is possible that the N-band emission is variable. Our image shows an unresolved point source and therefore it is unlikely that extended emission is responsible for the discrepancy.

NGC 5128. FigureA.4. Centaurus A, the closest active radio galaxy. The 11.9µm image shows an unresolved central core, with extended emission at 10% level. The 8.6µm image shows an unresolved core. For comparison, see Siebenmorgen et al.

(2004) for a 10.4µm image showing an unresolved core of less than 0.5.

M 83. FigureA.5. This near, face-on barred spiral galaxy shows mostly extended emission surrounding a faint central object. The extended emission is dominated by PAHs which account for the majority if the MIR luminosity (Vogler et al. 2005). The 11.9 µm flux measured, 232 mJy, is identical with the 11.9 µm flux mea- sured by Siebenmorgen et al. (2004). Our images, however,

show a clear, although faint, central source, whileSiebenmorgen et al.(2004) report only fuzzy extended emission. The LW3 fil- ter (12−18 µm) ofVogler et al.(2005) show the emission clearly tracing the spiral arms of M 83, which is not seen in our image.

ESO 445-G50. For this Seyfert I galaxy we measure 352 mJy at 11.9 µm. A 10.4 µm flux of 640 mJy can be found at Siebenmorgen et al.(2004).

Mrk 463. The image of this double-nuclei Seyfert 2 galaxy shows an unresolved core at 11.9µm, measuring 338 mJy.

Circinus. FigureA.6. Observations of this nearby spiral were made at 11.9µm and 8.6 µm. The seeing at for the 11.9 µm point was bad, so no statement can be made whether the central peak is resolved or not. The 8.6µm does show a slightly resolved back- ground component yet whether this is a disk or circum-nuclear emission (reported byKrabbe et al. 2001with a radius of≈1

is not clear. The image presented here is very similar to the one presented bySiebenmorgen et al. (2004). Recent high resolu- tion 8.74 and 18.33µm images and flux measurements are also presented by Packham et al. (2005), which also find a higher 8.74µm flux, 5.5−8.4 Jy, for a range of apertures from 1to 5. NGC 5506. Figure A.7. For this edge-one irregular Seyfert 1 (S1i) galaxy, we show here the first high resolution images at 8.6 and 11. 9µm. The 8.6 µm image shows an unresolved core while extended emission to the north-east is seen in the 11.9 µm image. The 11.9µm flux measured, 908 mJy, is similar to the Siebenmorgen et al.(2004) measurement of 1060 mJy.

NGC 7469. For this prototypical Seyfert 1 galaxy we encoun- tered an unknown image quality problem.Soifer et al.(2003) present a high resolution (4 × 4) 12.5 µm image of the nucleus of NGC 7469, resolving the ring structure around the nucleus and an extended structure in the nucleus itself.

NGC 7582. NGC 7582 is a classic Seyfert 2 galaxy which, during a period of five months in 1999 showed broad lines char- acteristic of a Seyfert 1 galaxy, which may indicate the presence of a patchy torus.Aretxaga et al.(1999). 50% of the flux found in extended emission with a peak offset from the center of the ex- tended emission. The extended emission is seen elongated along the South–North direction. The 12.9µm image shows two weak sources to the North and to the South of the main peak, also clearly seen in the 12.9µm image ofAcosta-Pulido et al.(2003).

The 11.9µm image shows one slightly resolved peak surrounded by extended emission. Flux at 11.9µm is very similar to that of Siebenmorgen et al. (2004), although the 11.9 µm image they present shows considerably less extended emission. Similar ex- tended emission can also be seen in the N1 (≈8−95.5 µm) image ofAcosta-Pulido et al.(2003).

6. Conclusion

We presented new high resolution mid-infrared images and fluxes at 8.9, 11.9 and 12.9µm for the brightest AGN’s observ- able from Cerro-Paranal. Most sources show an unresolved core, with little or no extended emission. Considerable extended emis- sion has only been detected for NGC 253, NGC 7582 and M 83.

parison with other relevant published data. In general we find our images and fluxes to be in agreement with previous papers.

Using a sample of 98 galaxy clusters recently imaged in the near-infrared with the European Southern Observatory (ESO) New Technology Telescope, WIYN telescope and William Her-

Out of the 16 candidate galaxies at z  , we selected five 8 (labeled UVISTA-Y-1, UVISTA-Y-5, UVISTA-Y-6, UVISTA-J-1, and UVISTA-J-2 ) with plausible z phot  8.5 solutions, that

Cross-matching SUMSS to S-PASS with a matching ra- dius of 300 arcsec we find that there are 517 sources above the defined flux density limit with an S-PASS source above 500 mJy

Near diffraction-limited images have been taken at 8.9, 11.9, and 12.9 µm for the brightest extragalactic sources in the southern sky, in order to optimally plan N-band

Zero-points are measured during calibration nights, where only photometric standards are observed, and routinely during survey nights, to follow possible in- strumental variations

Thus, for any source seen in the 150 MHz uGMRT map of a given target field, multiplying its flux density with the estimated FSF for that field, would translate its uGMRT flux-density

In some cases, both of our models overes- timate the correlation (at short wavelengths &lt;250µm), likely due to the lack of inclusion of an array of mid- infrared powerlaw slopes.

A.2 is that without masking we would have persistent images in our stack, and these could be mistaken for emission line objects, since they would mostly be present in the NB118
